Qi Xingli did not give Su Su a chance to refuse and directly sent someone to send him into Qi Hanyi's bedroom.

This was the second time Su Su entered Qi Hanyi's bedroom.

The bedroom is spacious, but seems a little empty because there are too few furniture and the decoration is too simple.

Qi Hanyi was lying on his back on the bed. He was wearing a training suit, his face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were closed, and his eyeballs were moving slightly under his eyelids, as if he was experiencing a very unstable dream.

Su Su hadn't seen Qi Hanyi for a few days. He was fine when he left, but now he was lying here in such a weak state. Even if there was no threat from Qi Xingli, Su Su still wanted to save him.

He is a shark that bears grudges, but he also remembers kindness. He will find ways to repay anyone who is good to him.

No matter whether Qi Hanyi liked him or not, or what he said, he always provided her with good food and accommodation, and would protect her when she encountered trouble.

But Su Su couldn't sing. After all, he had just learned to speak not long ago.

Su Su vaguely remembered that there was a part about teaching singing in his teaching material chip, but the chip was still buried under the sea, so he could only think of another way.

After thinking it over, Su Su opened the Mermaid anchor's page, picked the most popular singing and dancing performance, and clicked on it.

He tried to ask the host about his singing skills, but because the host was so popular, most of his comments were ignored. Basically, only those who rewarded a large amount would reply.

There was no money in Su Su's account, so he sent several messages, but all of them fell on deaf ears.

Just when Su Su exited the live broadcast room and was about to try a different method, a private message suddenly popped up from the backstage: [Are you serious about learning to sing? ]

The sender's username is [Xiao He], and her avatar is a selfie of a very cute girl with a baby face who looks to be less than 20 years old. When she smiles, there are two swirls at the corners of her mouth.

Su Su replied immediately: [Yes. ]

【My friend is sick and must be treated with singing. 】

【I can't sing, can you teach me? 】

Xiao He replied quickly: [Is your friend a human? Is he suffering from mental breakdown?]

Su Su was shocked: [How did you know? ]

[Because this is the only disease that can be treated with mermaid singing. Didn’t you take any training courses before you got married? How did you pass the final exam?] The other party seemed helpless.

[Are you really a mermaid? ]

[There is no mermaid who can't sing. 】

Su Su pursed his lips. Did he reveal himself so quickly? Could it be that mermaids are born to sing?

[I am a mermaid.] Su Su could only answer honestly.

There was silence for a few seconds on the other side: [No wonder.]

He also said: "It is useless even if you can sing. Mermaids who have not differentiated themselves cannot use their singing to heal humans."

[Why?] Su Su was puzzled. Does this depend on whether it is differentiated or not? If he keeps the human appearance, is it differentiated or not?

Xiao He took a minute to reply with a long explanation, which was very detailed: [To put it simply, mental collapse means that after mental power is overused, the vibration frequency becomes disordered. When mermaids split for a human, their mental powers will be at the same wave. Singing is to enhance resonance, so as to use one's own mental power to match the other's beat and help the other person stabilize his mental power.]

[If you don't differentiate, your mental power and the other party's will not be able to affect each other. ]

It turns out that the differentiation is not only about the mermaid changing into human form, but also includes the change of mental power. Su Su was dumbfounded. He sat dejectedly on the floor of Qi Hanyi's bedroom and found that he could not save people at all.

What should I do? I can’t save Qi Hanyi. Will he just die like this?

Su Su banged his head against the bedside table behind him in worry. Suddenly, something rolled down from the bedside table and hit the floor at his feet.

Su Su picked it up and found it was a group photo.

There are two people standing in the photo. On the left is a boy who looks about ten years old with delicate features, and on the right is a handsome man who looks three-quarters like Qi Hanyi.

The two stood in the snow, with their backs against a pear tree.

The boy looked at the camera with a smile, holding in his hand a starship model made of snow. It was very realistic, and Su Su could vaguely recognize it as the Silver Dragon starship.

The man put one hand on the boy's shoulder, but his eyes were looking to the other side outside the camera with a gentle look.

Is this... a photo of Qi Hanyi when he was a child? His facial features are quite similar, but Qi Hanyi looked much cuter back then. Although he was not very lively, at least he still had a childish smile in his eyes. He was nothing like now.

Su Su didn't know why, but he felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but the time was too far away, and he couldn't remember it. Until he saw the pendant hanging on Qi Hanyi's chest, which had a very special lion pattern printed on it.

Su Su recognized this pattern. The chip on which his treasure carried with him, which taught him countless knowledge and accompanied him for a long time, also had this pattern printed on it.

The memories seemed to be pulled out of a thread, and when they were pulled hard, they piled up in a heap.

Su Su realized belatedly that the yacht was not the first time he and Qi Hanyi met.

He and Qi Hanyi met much earlier than this.

At that time he was still a young shark of two or three years old. He naively saw a beautiful boat, which was throwing down earthworms, fish, shrimps and other baits from time to time. He followed behind the boat eagerly to eat.

And eat the fish that are snatching food from you.

"Follow it upstream, the road is long and difficult." The young man on the deck was holding the pendant on his chest and studying. He seemed a little confused and turned to ask, "Father, what do you mean by this?"

"Going upstream, the road is dangerous and difficult to climb." The man who was called to be his father put his arm around his shoulders and threw a handful of fish food into the sea.

Su Su could understand their conversation. When he was very young, he did not live in the sea, but lived on a shallow beach. There were some fishermen nearby, and they often gathered together to chat. Su Su didn't know when he could understand it.

Learning a foreign language is very useful. Su Su, who was smaller than other young sharks, obtained a lot of intelligence by eavesdropping on the fishermen's conversations. He knew where they set their nets, how to avoid being caught, and how to destroy the traps before the fishermen and steal a few live fish to satisfy his hunger.

"Then why do we have to go upstream?" young Qi Hanyi asked, looking up.

The man laughed heartily: "Who knows, maybe it's because there are more beautiful scenery there, there are things you want, or maybe you want to love someone."

"People don't choose a difficult path for no reason. They choose to go against the current because it is worth it."

Su Su remembered that sentence. Although he didn't fully understand the meaning of the words at that time, he just thought that the man looked cool when he said that. Cooler than those adult sharks that can hunt yellowfin tuna.

At that time, Su Su only knew that his last name was "Su", but he didn't know how to write that word, nor did he know what it meant. So he unilaterally chose the word "Su" as his name.

Going upstream sounds cool.

Later, when he learned to write, he combined his surname and given name together, becoming the current "Su Su", which sounds a bit strange.

Therefore, Qi Hanyi was the young man he saved at that time.

Su Su looked at Qi Hanyi lying on the bed in surprise. No wonder, no wonder he hated mermaids so much.

Su Su didn't know what happened on Qi Hanyi's boat, but he remembered that it was on that day. Late at night, when he followed the smell of blood and swam to the vicinity of the boat, he saw a blood-covered female mermaid holding a motionless boy and leaping into the sea.

The mermaid pulled the boy who couldn't swim deep into the water.

Su Su also swam in the direction of the two people.

When Su Su rushed over, the mermaid had completely stopped breathing. But Su Su could hear the boy's heartbeat, a heartbeat full of vitality.

He looked toward the sea, as if he wanted to swim upwards, but his body seemed frozen, motionless.

Su Su sent him to the surface of the sea and pushed him to a reef. The tide was receding and he had several hours to wait for others to rescue him.

The boy seemed to wake up, coughing and spitting out some seawater, and looking at the little shark by the reef. His eyes seemed empty, with nothing in them, but also seemed to be filled with many emotions that Su Su could not understand.

Su Su noticed something glittering on his chest and curiously moved closer. He recognized this pendant. Qi Hanyi had been holding it during the day, seemingly looking at something. He also heard the line "following the current, the road is long and obstructed" from this pendant.

Su Su bit the pendant and pulled it, trying to pull the thing off the boy's neck. That's how sharks are, they'll grab anything they like.

Su Su succeeded. The buckle on the pendant was deformed by Su Su's bite and it was easily torn off. Su Su got what he wanted and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Hey!" The young man seemed to shout from behind, but Su Su did not turn back.

Qi Hanyi also had a dream, in which his father appeared.

After his father's accident, he hadn't dreamed of him for many years.

Qi Hanyi's father was called Qi Wu, and he was originally the best heir of the Qi family. When he was 25 years old, he married a mermaid. Unlike Qi Hanyi's resistance, his father liked the mermaid the first time he saw her.

The mermaid he married was called An Xun, she was very beautiful, but she was a little cold, even to Qi Wu, she rarely had a good face. But Qi Wu didn't mind, he treated his mermaid very well, gave her everything he could, and tried every way to make her happy.

An Xun split for him, which meant that An Xun responded to his love. Qi Wu was happier than winning a battle, and held a grand and solemn wedding in the imperial capital. In those days, no, even now, few people would hold a wedding for a mermaid.

Qi Wu's behavior was regarded as a joke in the circle, but he himself did not care.

A year later, An Xun gave birth to a child. The child possessed the most advanced genes of mankind. Qi Xingli, the head of the family, had high hopes for him and named him Qi Hanyi.

Qi Hanyi grew up in a halo. He has a father who is busy but loves him very much.

In Qi Hanyi's memory, his father often told him to take good care of his mother when he was away. His father said that his mother was also a mermaid, and the mermaid gave him life. He said that being a mother was very hard, and being a woman in the Qi family was even harder. Because men were always fighting outside, they would inevitably neglect them.

My father is one of the few people who supports equal rights for humans and mermaids. He not only supports mermaids enjoying the same respect as humans on land, but also supports mermaids boarding starships and fighting together with humans.

These statements were considered shocking at the time, but because my father was the heir of the Qi family and the strongest expeditionary commander, those people did not dare to confront my father openly.

But in Qi Hanyi's memory, her mother was like another person.

Since he was born, his mother always looked at him with hatred in her eyes.

At first Qi Hanyi didn't understand that being close to his mother was an instinct.

Even if his mother insulted him with the most vicious words, calling him disgusting and dirty, he instinctively wanted to be close to her.

He didn't ask for much, he just wanted his mother to hug him. But he never got a response.

Qi Hanyi asked his father the reason.

My father said that my mother was unhappy. She was a free mermaid, but because of my selfishness, she was forced to become my wife and the mother of my children. She was far away from her hometown and her kind, and she was always lonely.

My father also said that she loved us, and she was willing to split for me, willing to give birth to you, and willing to stay. She just had a lot of grievances in her heart, so you have to be good and understand your mother's hard work.

So Qi Hanyi accepted his father's explanation, and he grew up quietly, reading, eating, and studying, growing up according to the family's expectations. Even if he was treated coldly by his mother, Qi Hanyi would still take care of his mother like a little adult.

He was less than ten years old at the time. His grandfather was always strict, his relatives were covetous, his mother was cold and distant, and the only time he felt happy was when his father came home for a short time.

If he had grown up like that, Qi Hanyi would not have become what he is now.

The accident happened when he was ten years old.

That year, my father was on vacation, and my mother suddenly told him that she missed home and wanted to go to the sea, just the three of them.

My father was very happy. He said that this was the first time in so many years that my mother took the initiative to make a request to him. He turned down a promotion ceremony that was very important to him, hid it from my grandfather, and went out to sea with Qi Hanyi and the mermaid.

That day, the mother was gentler than ever. She changed into a very beautiful dress and even put on some light makeup. She smiled at them and cooked fish for them for the first time.

The fish didn't taste very good, and there was a strange smell in the soup, but the father and son ate it very happily and even drank up all the soup in the pot.

Only later did they discover that the soup contained a poison that would make the person's hands and feet stiff and unable to move.

When Qi Hanyi woke up, he saw his mother holding a knife against his father, and commanding him in her usual cold tone: "Hand over the control of the expeditionary starship."

There was no panic or anger in Qi Wu's eyes, only helpless sadness: "Xiao Xun, I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."

"If you don't hand it over, I will kill you and your son!" An Xun threatened fiercely, pulled Qi Hanyi in front of him, and cut his neck with the blade.

Blood flowed along the blade. Qi Hanyi didn't feel any pain or fear, he just looked up at his parents blankly, trying to figure out what happened.

"Don't hurt Hanyi. You can blame me, hate me and take revenge on me, but Hanyi is innocent." Qi Wu's eyes showed anxiety and distress.

An Xun softened his tone again: "As long as you hand over your authority, I will guarantee the safety of both of you."

"This is impossible, Xiaoxun. Why do you want the authority of the expeditionary force? If you have any difficulties, tell me and I can help you." Qi Wu's voice was still gentle.

"I want to take revenge on humans and make them pay for the harm they have done to mermaids. I want to change the status of humans and mermaids and let you also have a taste of being enslaved. Help me, what can you do to help me, you hypocritical human, you can only fool me with slogans about equal rights between humans and mermaids. Have you succeeded in all these years?"

"I, sorry, it may take a few more years. I... I also want to hurry up, but this matter..." Qi Wu showed an embarrassment. This matter has great resistance. Even his own family does not stand on his side. If he does it too hastily, it may cause a strong counterattack from opponents. He can only lay the groundwork slowly and take it step by step.

"You can't, but I can. Hand over your authority. We mermaids will naturally be able to drive those starships. When the starships' guns are aimed at the land of this planet, you humans will naturally know what reverence is!" An Xun became more and more excited as he spoke: "You humans killed so many mermaids in the past. You humans have kept mermaids as slaves for many years. This is the retribution they deserve!"

"A Xun!" Qi Wu didn't realize until then that Xu Xun's thoughts were far more extreme than he thought. She hated not him, but everyone.

The father didn't know what kind of power was behind the mother, and why she instilled such thoughts in her. But he couldn't hand over the power to these mermaids, because it would become a catastrophe for all mankind and even the whole planet.

"An Xun, listen to me. The matter of the starship is no joke. The Zerg have been eyeing this planet and want to turn it into their nest. They may attack our planet at any time. Once the war breaks out, not only humans, but all life on this planet will die."

"Stop scaremongering here. They are just bugs. If you humans can deal with them, we mermaids can deal with them too." An Xun approached Qi Wu, his eyes full of desire: "Didn't you say you loved me? If you help me this time, I will take care of you and protect you in the future. I am willing to be with you forever. And I will treat our child well. Our family will be together happily forever. Don't you want that?"

Qi Wu closed his eyes: "I am willing to help mermaids fight for their rights and make their lives better through gradual changes, but I will never betray humans. An Xun, this is my bottom line."

Afterwards, all that remained of Qi Hanyi's memory was the color red as blood.

In order to force my father to give up his power, my mother cut off his ten fingers, dug out his eyes, cut off his nose and ears, leaving only a talking tongue. Then she stabbed him hundreds of times, as if she wanted to vent all the hatred that the mermaids had for humans over the years on him.

Humans with mermaid blood are born with stronger genes, which also caused the father to suffer more before his death.

Before he died, the father begged his mother, saying, "I know you hate humans. You can take revenge on me. I don't blame you. I owe you this. But don't hurt the child. He also shed your blood. He is innocent. Please let him go."

That day, my mother gently touched Qi Hanyi's face for the first time and said, "Yes, he is also my child. He looks so much like me."

Then he pushed him to the ground, looked at him with disgust as if he were trash and said, "But he is a human being."

Qi Hanyi felt that her mother had gone crazy at that time.

She stood on the deck, still wearing the skirt she had changed into during the day, which was stained with her father's blood.

She began to sing, a tuneless tune, and then she vomited blood.

At that time, Qi Hanyi did not understand why his mother vomited blood. It was only later that he learned that when a mermaid's loved one dies, she will die of grief and vomit blood. Mermaids are naturally the most affectionate race. It's not that his mother didn't love his father, but her hatred for humans exceeded this love.

Later, his mother hugged him for the first time. She hugged him with blood all over her body, and then jumped into the sea.

Qi Hanyi had always been looking forward to a warm hug from his mother, but at that moment, he was pulled by his mother in the endless sea and sank all the way into the deep sea.

He just felt freezing cold.
